I am going to create a windows form and add a push button (pretty simple right?) I want the push button to randomly cycle through about 10 pictures and display the randomly selected picture.
A few problems I am facing, 1) I do not know how to do do "randomization" in VB.Net and 2) I do not know how VB.Net would handle displaying an image, would it display on the form i am building or would it display in the default photo viewer for Windows?
I have two images on my VB pictureBox one of it is randomly generated on the picBox(to any location) and the other is a normal image that can move around the picBox area using left right up and down buttons. The problem is that when ever the normal picture gets to the random one, it goes under the random picture and the task is to restrict the normal picture from going into the walls of the random one. when it gets to the wall, top, bottom left and right, it should stop moving.
View 2 RepliesI am currently working on a project on Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition, in which I need to move an image across the form from one end to the other without moving it in a straight line. I want to try and randomize the image while it moves in a general direction, but I am not sure how. I also am trying to get four images to do this, from top to bottom, bottom up, left to right, and right to left.

View 14 RepliesHow to make the picturebox appear randomly? And, when i click on them when it's is appeared, the score will +1? this is Whack-a-Mole, sorry that i don't know what this game's name. Can you tell me how to make the picturebox appear randomly and disappear after a short moment(0.5 sec something). And the game total time i would like to have about 1 minute.
View 17 Repliesso my goal is to get a picturebox to move in random directions and smoothly (like a character moving straight in a game) without using thread.sleep and me.refresh (and also without animation atm). Would anyone be able to guide me on how to accomplish this?The reason I want to do this is because when I need to use like 3 threads to move 3 different things around smoothly my computer slows down too much.here's my code now without all the other subs used to place the random code in it's own thread. There's a lot of other code too so I can't really post the entire thing:
Private Sub random_movements(ByVal e As Integer, ByVal speed As Integer, ByVal ctrl As Control)
Dim location_x As Integer = ctrl.Location.X

View 8 RepliesI made a picture box and imported an image named Title.jpg. Later I made adjustments to the picture and imported it again without deleting the original(mistake). The new one had the name automatically changed to Title1.jpg. So I deleted the original image from resources and renamed Title1.jpg back to Title.jpg.
Now I got two problems. First, only Title.jpg is on the solution explorer, but Title1.jpg(along with Title.jpg) still pops up on the resource list when I click on Image property of the picture box. There's only the name and no picture, and I don't see a delete option. How do I get rid of it? Second, even though I changed the image to the new Title.jpg in the picture box, the old one is displayed when running the app. What's up with that?
i have a image with four squares evenly spaced out. I want a picturebox's image to be one of the squares at a time so it's like a animation except it's only one image.
View 7 RepliesI have a mdicontainer form that summons forms. My problem is when the a user clicks again the menu for that form, it also make another instance of it.
What I did is declare a public class with a public variable on it ex: Boolean isFormOneOpen = false. Then every time formOne opens, it checks first the global variable I declared a while ago if it's false, if it is, instantiate an object of a formOne and then show it. Otherwise, do nothing. Very static, imagine if I have many forms, I have to declare a variable for each form to check if it's already open. Maybe a method that accepts a Form? Or any more clever way to do this.
in vb 2008 express this option is available under application properties. does anyone know what is its function? does it make it so that it's impossible to open two instances at the same time?
View 3 RepliesI've managed to make some single dimension array lists but I can't figure out a multi dimension arraylist.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a database (mdb) with 5 columns that I want each row to be in an array list.
In PHP what I'd typically do is:
$array[$field1] = array($field2,$field3,$field4,$field5);
How I do the same in vb.net so anytime I need to fetch an item for a specific for the row1 I could call it?
For a single dimension I could do the following, but I can't figure out how to add more fields to a single array row:
Dim tmpArrayX As New ArrayList
tmpArrayX.Add(field(0))
tmpArrayX.Add(field(1))
etc...

I have placed several PictureBox Images of different colored dots(which represent lights) on an image of a Christmas Tree. I can make the lights randomly flash using a randomGenerator and a Select case statement. However, the code is very long. There are 67 lights on this tree and the code is 71 pages long. There has to be an easier way to do this. So far I have tried the following with two images of lights just to see if it would work and it does not work:
Dim picLight(2) As

Button1: Timer1.Start
Timer1: Timer2.Start
Timer2: SendKeys.Send(Textbox.text)
Button2: Timer2.Stop
So it was my first try ever with VB and it kind of worked... Only 2 problems;
1. Button 2 doesn't really work, I have to click it really many times, then go to a different window, then click it really many times again, in the meantime it keeps on spamming
2. How do I make my autotyper press enter every single time after the textbox message was typed?
